Divorcing 497
Chapter 497 Her Safety Was Paramount
Chloe was truly exhausted. She had already drained all her strength in the cabin, so even though Michael sitting by her bedside made her feel a bit uneasy, she soon fell asleep. Only when he heard her steady breathing did Michael get up and leave the room.
Candy and Quinn were still there. When they saw him come out, they quickly stood up, intending to go in.
"She's asleep."
These three words made them both pause.
"What did you mean earlier about William?"
Michael had overheard what Candy said to Chloe, but he hadn't asked while Chloe was present.
Candy froze. "Nothing."
She remembered Chloe had told her not to let Michael know.
But Michael was smart. The more evasive she was, the more uneasy he felt.
"You saw what happened today. She nearly lost her life. If she tries something dangerous again, can you guarantee she won't be in danger again?"
Candy was at a loss for words, beginning to hesitate.
She had been against Chloe facing the scheming William alone from the start.
Today's incident only heightened her worries.
Since Michael had already overheard, wouldn't it be better to tell him so he could protect Chloe better?
Candy felt conflicted.
"Wait here."
She pulled Quinn aside into the corridor to discuss.
"Should I tell him?"
Quinn frowned slightly. "Chloe doesn't want him to know."
"I know, but it's too dangerous for her to handle William alone. We can't always be there in time, can we? Look at what just happened; wasn't it Michael who saved her?"
Candy had many grievances against Michael before. During the three years of his marriage to Chloe, Chloe had never been happy.
But today was different. Watching Michael carry Chloe out of the fire had shocked her.
If he didn't care about Chloe, why would he risk his life?
Maybe he truly realized how badly he had treated Chloe and wanted to make amends.
"Do you want Chloe to forgive him?"
Quinn was surprised.
"Of course not. I just think having one more person to protect Chloe isn't a bad thing. Besides, he's the general manager of Paramount Airlines; he has more connections than us!"
And it wasn't like she was breaking Chloe's trust. Michael had overheard.
Quinn remained silent for a while.
He and Michael were rivals in love. Telling Michael about Chloe's plan would give his rival a chance to win her back.
But Candy was right.
More protection for Chloe was good.
Watching Chloe be taken away earlier and feeling powerless had been unbearable.
Her safety was paramount.
"Go ahead."
Quinn finally relented.
Returning to Michael, Candy briefly explained what had happened between her, William, Chloe, and William.

Michael was stunned. He hadn't known Chloe had been through so much since their divorce.
But he knew now.
His expression darkened. "I'll investigate this. Please convince her not to meet William alone."
Candy and Quinn were speechless. "If only she'd listen to us."
"Lock her in a room if she doesn't."
Michael's domineering words left the two stunned.
"I can accommodate her in everything else, but not this."
This isn't about restricting her choices or freedom; it's about her safety.
William is a man, and we don't even know who's backing him. If she goes to face him alone, it's too risky!
He never realized Chloe was this brave.

When Michael arrived with breakfast, she was preparing to leave. "Where are you going?"
Chloe didn't stop what she was doing. "Bright Moon International." She had to go to work, after all.
